didn't know you had your own rolling road

 

Never said big figures.

Dazza, doesnt need his own rolling road to get figures..

LOL @ comparing figures to steve's engine.. I would like to see how the graphs compare for a given spec should be very interesting, but thats another thread.

gotta dash, cant speculate in this thread!

 

Mike,

you inferred that by mapping for fuel economy I was not mapping for power. I was merely pointing out that they are not mutually exclusive, and you'de jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Of course I'm not implying that the car was as quick as David's. It was quick enough for its intended application: a runabout with decent fuel economy running on cheap fuel but with a bit of go when needed... the GPS certainly seemed to support that conclusion, recording a maximum speed of 180MPH Does that qualify as being "quick" ?

Regarding graphs you are interested in, I'll try to grab them when I have a moment. I have no problem with publishing them, they're not exactly secret now are they ? Not sure why you might think that I am sceptical of your results ? Unless you're gonna say you used a TD05H/20G to get those figures of course

Cheers,

Pat.

 

No, you said "Pat did make very impressive figures on his 2.5 on 95 ron."
So you "meant" the same thing though, with figures, the higher the more impressive (more so when comparing like for like), and as Pat keeps alluding to the fact that it WAS in fact a power map, what "very impressive" figures did you end up with then Pat?



Mike.

 

Nah, hardly....... (T3 50trim).
I don't REALLY need you to bring anything down TBH Pat (and I'm sure you knew that anyway), you're as welcome to simply stop in for a coffee and a chat, just as you've been for the last 7+ years we've known each other.


Mike.

 

Geez Mike, sounds like you were actually sober and back down to planet earth on that last post

 

How many you running, 2, 3 ?


Mark.

 

3, (one per cylinder), but don't tell anyone else.


Mike.

 

Mike,

As stated previously, I do not know what figures the car was running, I never considered it important enough to strap it onto a dyno and find out. I would also like to emphasise the fact that I only posted a clarification following David's comment (which merely stated that there had been other powerful 2.5 litre 95 RON burners and cited mine as an example). The clarification was with regard to the choice of fuel, not the actual engine's performance.... most people would probably wonder why, if you're going to the trouble and expense of building a strong 2.5 litre, you would opt not to use decent fuel to get the best out of it... would it be fair to say that if your customer could actually get better-than-95-RON fuel then he wouldn't have opted to run 95 anyway ? Perhaps you can appreciate the difference

Cheers,

Pat.

 

Andy you must have that upside down. Turn it up the, - OH BUGGER !! it reads the same both ways up

David APi

PSS it looked to me that his thread needed a bit of lightening up, Sorry !

 

i've tried that as well David lol

 

sorry to bring this bttt but this has got to be the best bbs thread ever
